Film program
Documentary and feature-length films are presented in association with exhibition themes and specific topics, such as the nationally celebrated "heritage" months. All film programs are free and open to the public on a first-come, first-served basis. Films are recommended for mature audiences; all screenings are followed by a moderated discussion. Seating is limited. For the most up-to-date information, consult the calendar.

Special screenings and art discussions
College and university classes or adult groups of 15 or more may request special screenings of the films that are presented as part of the museumıs public programming. Screenings include an introduction and post-screening discussion and may be coordinated with a tour and discussion of artworks on view. Please allow one month for program preparation and scheduling.
